In the wake of one of the most eventful elections in living memory, the 46th U.S. president took office in January with a renewed focus on environmental issues and the transition to more sustainable energy., reversing his predecessor’s decision to withdraw, and has set a target for America to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. But overhauling the country’s energy sector is no simple task and comes with a number of unique challenges.
There’s a wide range of approaches to managing the energy transition – consider California, Texas and New York. Caught in transition, California’s grid capacity struggled to cope as existing back-up power facilities have been mothballed. The resulting rolling blackouts were followed by requests for customers to limit energy consumption to avoid wider power system failure.
“The role for the U.S. is to set a recipe, an opportunity for the world to see how to reliably and effectively address climate change,” says Ducker. “We have the ability to install a huge amount of renewables in the West, thanks to land mass. That gives us the opportunity to export renewable energy. If we convert renewables to hydrogen, we can export it to countries that don’t have the ability to support clean energy goals.
“The most important thing people need to realize right now is this energy transition is going to be hard – energy needs to be ubiquitous and available.” – Charles McConnell, Center for Carbon Management and Energy Sustainability at the University of Houston
